On a hot day in February

 Several of our members enjoyed our gathering last Saturday.

After Sue chose our next project focus fabric from the Lucky Dip basket we spent some time selecting a block design. Then Stephanie arrived and pointed out an issue with our choice - the chosen fabric is directional and the block design we chose was not and would destroy the lovely direction in the fabric.

so we chose another block design and discussed colour choices and other options for some time. Of course this means I now have to write some instructions.

We were joined by Ivy (and Heather) for some time while Mum and Dad loaded their car with more stuff to take to their new home.

We all thought it was hot in the sewing room until we went downstairs for lunch and found that downstairs was much hotter.

I have now sent out all the fabric for the new block and will get instructions done as soon as I can.

At 3pm we had a zoom and were joined by Heather, Christine and Lynette.

There was lots of show and tell from Elaine and Karen and we found homes for two of our quilts. Kathryn likes the Nautical Quilt and Sue likes the Appliqued Flowers Quilt so they have taken those. Stephanie took our Exploding Stars quilt to donate to the St George Palliative Care Centre. This means we now have $100 to donate to charity at the end of the year already. She show and tell set off much discussion about little tricks and tips re using up scraps of batting (Elaine) and flying geese (Karen). All  our finished quilts can be found on the Pages list along the top banner of this blog.

Thank you to everyone who enjoyed our time together and all those who sent apologies. And thank you Karen for the photos.
